About Me
Just an Aussie gamer that has too much time on his lunch break ;)

I own a 360, PSP, and a PC. I put a decent amount of time into other systems as well, as I have a mate who always seems to have the latest and greatest consoles.

I've been gaming since C64 days, and will be till the day I die most likely.

Kane and Lynch: Dead to Me
Capn Birdseye | 7:50 PM on 10.02.2007 5 comments


I am a big fan of the Hitman series, and was looking forward to Kane and Lynch: Dead Men since it was announced quite some time ago.

This may not be news to some of you, but I must have missed the announcement or something, because today I find out that the game will NOT support online co op, just offline split screen.

No online co op?!? In this day and age?? This game seemed to be designed for online co op. What a stupid design decision.

I planned on purchasing it with a mate of mine, where we would run through the whole game together, much like we did with Gears of War, and Halo 3.

Without online co op, I will be thinking twice about buying this. I am sure it will be every bit as good as I expect it to be, but there are alot of good games coming out over this holiday season it has to compete with for playtime.


I guess something this simple has cost Eidos at least one potential sale, possibly two, and I bet we are not alone. There is really no excuse for games with multiple protagonists these days to not feature online co op, in my opinion.

Funny enough, The PC version Will most likely have online Co-Op....unless you can hookup two mice and Keyboards to one PC
I agree that it should have had Online Co-Op.

How hard can it be to code it in? I mean, it already supports offline co op...

Yeah Kotua, you are probably right, which makes this even more of a travesty ;)

As I see it, if the protagonist share a screen i can see why its offline co-op. Mostly because trying to render graphics and realism on two split screens slows all systems down. 360 or Triple. However this can be overcome with ONLINE coop...

Also cocks.
